The recording of Rep. Tae, where Lee Jin-bok, senior secretary for political affairs in the presidential office, asked Supreme Council member Tae Young-ho, the power of the people, to defend the government’s foreign policy towards Japan when discussing nominations for the general election .
Both parties denied that there was no such comment after the MBC exclusive report, and that it was an exaggerated statement, but questions are being raised even after the clarification.
Former representative Lee Jun-seok of People’s Power said in a CBS radio interview, first of all, with the explanation of Representative Tae Young-ho, “If you say that the story you told your aides is an exaggeration, the credibility of what you say. to say that in the future it will be very low.”
He also argued that it was unnatural for the President’s Office to deny its will to interfere in nominations, asking whether the President’s office had more or less interfered in the election of leaders, such as pressuring candidates Na Gyeong-won and Ahn Cheol-soo since the end. party convention.

“I was an exaggerator, and if I do this, the credibility of what Rep. Tae Young-ho says it in the future will decrease significantly. That is also fatal as a politician, so now I am concerned that I am trying to go. in the form of unconditionally hiding the story of Chief Lee Jin-bok And, of course, what the party does is elect leaders and then nominations later, and these things, but in a place where they intervened actually in the election of leaders at the National Convention, then, of course, people think about not interfering in nominations.”
Former deputy spokesman Shin In-gyu, who is close to former CEO Lee, also raised questions about Congressman Tae’s explanation, saying, “Lying in a top-secret internal meeting means that Congressman Tae will lie as long as he breathes.”
“Chief Jin-bok Lee denies it, but given Congressman Tae’s behavior so far, it’s reasonable to assume that there is a host of guaranteed nominations.”
Although the issue of the non-mainstream parties and the opposition parties of the ruling party continues, the leadership of Cyrm y Popl continues to draw a line, saying that all parties deny it.
There was also an answer that there was a problem with Rep. Tae, who made exaggerated comments, if he dared to deal with the seriousness, and the fault of the president’s office was not confirmed.

“Representative Tae Young-ho exaggerated to the staff in the parliamentary office. And as for this part, it is consistent that Congressman Tae also calls Chief Lee Jin-bok and apologizes, so he the facts appear to have been confirmed based on opinion However, even if such a fact were confirmed, inappropriate content which could cause misunderstanding was known to the public anyway, so whether whether that part is a separate apology from Rep. Tae Young-ho or directing political responsibility, little is harsh about these things. I think you have to accept it.”
People’s Power chief spokesperson Sang-beom Yoo also suggested the possibility that this could affect Representative Tae’s disciplinary action, which was referred to the Ethics Committee, although all parties denied it.
